One of my favorites as well, assume you mean Georgia On My Mind. If so, in fact, that was written by Hoagie Carmichael with lyrics by Stuart Gorrell. Also, there is some discussion about whether this song is really about the State, as Hoagie had a sister who he adored, and may have written the song for her.

I like many that have been mentioned including Skynard and Sinatra.

I also fondly remember Rocky Mountain High. John Denver.

It is called, "San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie

I Googled the lyrics you mentioned and Google came up with the answer and a video.

Second on my list would be "San Francisco Bay Blues"...the original folk version, not Eric Clapton's.

My wife's favorite is "Sorrento"
Sweet Home Alabama......

Glen Campbell.
 
“By the Time I Get to Phoenix” and “Galveston” by Glen Campbell. Both were on the first album (vinyl, of course) my bride and I bought after we married.
